Nikiti is a resort town, located in the northern part of the Sithonia Peninsula (the second of the three “fingers” of the Halkidiki Peninsula). The nearest airfield is Makedonia Airport (88 km). The distance from Nikiti to Thessaloniki is 114 km.

People have enjoyed these lands since prehistoric times. Local archaeological discoveries are interesting and diverse: an Iron Age cemetery, the ruins of an old town, and early Christian temples. The mild climate, fertile land, lush gardens, sheltered bays and proximity to trade routes all contributed to the prosperity of the region.

The first large city in the area is the ancient town of Halipsos. It is mentioned by Herodotus in his work on the Persian fleet campaign in 480 BC. In close vicinity to this place, there were the cities of Toroni and Sermili.

The modern name of Nikiti may have come from the monastery’s metochion. It was a place where people from the neighbourhood could work.

Modern Nikiti is a fantastic place to relax and have a good time.

Why rent a car?

Nikiti itself does not have plenty of attractions or places of interest. It is a resort town, not a developed megapolis like Athens or Thessaloniki. These are the attractions you can visit while staying in Nikiti: Sofronios Basilica, the Church of Agios Nikitas, and the Historical and Folklore Museum of Nikiti – these landmarks are the pride of Nikiti.

Nonetheless, you can see much more beautiful places if you take a ride around Sithonia. This peninsula is famous for its gorgeous beaches and cosy bays, which are not accessible by bus.

We came to Greece for a month as we always do every year. We rented a car from Aktis and the price was very very reasonable.

We rented a car in august 2023 and drove over 1500km with it without any problems. Good car for 4 people with spacious trunk. We are satisfied with the very attentive and customer oriented service company offered.

Traffic features

Most road traffic rules in Greece are the same as those in other countries. Nonetheless, there are certain peculiarities to which a foreign driver must pay attention:

all road signs are provided either in Greek or Latin. Sometimes in two languages at once;
a child under 135 cm in height and under the age of 12 should travel in a car seat or booster seat;
in the case of a roundabout, the road adjacent to the roundabout is considered the primary road, but not the roundabout itself;
it is allowed to beep a horn only for traffic jam prevention;
driving with a dipped beam on is only permissible at night and in bad weather conditions.

Pay attention! Make sure that you keep the speed limits: within the city – 50 km/h, outside the city – 90 km/h, on the motorway – 110 km/h, and on the toll highways – 130 km/h.

Useful tips

Finding a parking place on the peninsula will not be a problem for you. Even if you come in high season, you can easily find free space close to restaurants, cafes, the port and large supermarkets.

There are special markings for parking in the country: blue – requiring payment, white – free, and yellow – for specialized vehicles, but the locals use such spaces for parking of their vehicles (nonetheless, a foreigner should not leave his/her car there).

Pay attention! For the violation of the parking rules, you can obtain a fine, starting from €80. If this happens to you, then you can pay at a community centre or post office.

Required documents

It is mandatory that you have your International Driving Licence (or European Driving Licence) with you. You should also have a passport or an ID with a photo that is valid in Greece (e.g. European ID). The driver must comply with leasing regulations (minimum age, experience).

We recommend visiting the following places in Sithonia:

the city of Neos Marmaras;
beach in Vourvourou/Karidi;
the bay of Porto Koufo;
Kavourotripes Beach.
